Job Description

The Anesthesia Group in Vanderhoof is offering a locum opportunity to provide coverage from:


November 18th – 25th

December 23rd – January 2nd

December 29th to January 6th


Join an outstanding medical community and be a part of a progressive team at St. John’s Hospital in Vanderhoof, the geographical centre of British Columbia.

Durations: VERY FLEXIBLE and open to discussion. For ease of scheduling, we do prefer visits of at least 1 week in duration.


Anesthesia Contract payment model has recently been implemented for the Vanderhoof Group, providing superior compensation from the fee-for-service model. Our previous locums have come through the RGPALP. You will have the option to have your clinical services paid via our contract or RGPALP.


Travel and accommodation will be covered by RGPALP regardless of whether you decide to have your clinical services paid by our contract or RGPALP.

This team of FPs and FP specialists work in a collaborative team to support each other in clinical and academic activities to provide the best level of patient care in the North. This opportunity would be excellent for a new graduate seeking rural experience because of the added benefit and support of GP specialists and technology that most rural hospitals do not have.
